Our Team Annie Zhou Senior Consultant, Integrated Initiatives Email Annie Over ten years of experience with global and domestic complex community health problems and a passion for health equity are the lenses through which Annie views her role at TCC Group. Her adaptive and collaborative approach brings diverse stakeholders together to find common ground and work towards a shared goal. Drawn to TCC Group by our value of continual learning, as well as the opportunity to improve grantmaking systems, Annie’s clients include ViiV Healthcare, where she supports the organization’s Positive Action Community Grants program, a $20 million portfolio which awards grants to community-based organizations fighting the stigma of HIV/AIDS across the country. Key to her work is building connection and community – with grantees, community members, partners, and colleagues –to create something that is greater than the sum of the individual parts, through the grant-making process. Annie comes to TCC Group from Partners in Health, where she served as the Project Director in the U.S., leading the start-up, implementation, and closeout of a $11.2 million COVID-19 vaccine equity project. Funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, it successfully distributed more than $8 million to dozens of front-line community organizations. In her work at Concern Worldwide in rural Ethiopia, she launched over 20 emergency response projects across 13 districts responding to civil war, drought, floods, and ethnic conflict. With limited resources and facing multiple challenges, she helped successfully reach more than 650,000 women and children experiencing limited access to healthcare with essential health and nutrition services.
